Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, generally, there are many types of wall information. For this reason, it has been considered to prepare a program having wall type information separately from a program for displaying the shape of the building. <​​​​This disclosure has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a building design system that can easily associate wall core information from the first software with wall feature information from the second software. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] This disclosure relates to a building design system comprising: first software that generates a wall centerline diagram corresponding to wall centerline information indicating the wall center; second software capable of providing wall feature information indicating the characteristics of a wall; and association means for associating the wall centerline information of the first software with the wall feature information of the second software. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The building design system disclosed herein allows for easy correspondence between wall core information from the first software and wall feature information from the second software. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 7] This diagram shows the door / window markings placed on the wall centerline. [Figure 8] This is a diagram explaining the markings for joinery. [Figure 9] This is a diagram illustrating other examples of joinery marks. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the building design system relating to this disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the schematic configuration of a building design system 1 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The building design system 1 shown in Figure 1 is executed by computer 100. Computer 100, although not shown in the diagram, includes, for example, a CPU, main memory, auxiliary memory, and an input / output interface.

[0011] Main memory includes RAM (Random Access Memory), which serves as the CPU's work area. Auxiliary storage devices include hard disk drives and other devices that store various types of data and programs. The auxiliary storage device stores various programs, such as the building design system and OS (Operating System) program, which enable the computer 100 to function as a building design device. The input / output interface is used to send and receive data between the computer 100 and external devices. The CPU, main memory, auxiliary memory, and input / output interfaces are connected to each other, for example, by a bus.

[0012] The computer 100 is used together with the display unit 105. The display unit 105 is, for example, a liquid crystal display.

[0013] The building design system 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises a first software 10, a second software 15, a plug-in software 20, a placement means 30, a display control means 35, and a placement control means 40. The first software 10, the second software 15, the plug-in software 20, the display control means 35, and the placement control means 40 are, for example, software (programs) stored in an auxiliary storage device. The plugin software 20 functions as an interface between the first software 10 and the second software 15. The plugin software 20 includes an association means 25. First, the second software 15, the placement means 30, the display control means 35, and the placement control means 40 will be described below.

[0014] The first software 10 is, for example, a 3D modeling tool (3D modeling software, 3D modeling application). The second software 15 is, for example, BIM (Building Information Modeling). Here, BIM means software capable of creating not only the construction of building information, that is, creating a 3D model or respective 2D drawings, but also various types of materials such as order forms, estimates, application documents, work sheets, or area tables. The second software 15 can provide wall feature information indicating the features of walls. The wall feature information may be stored, for example, in an auxiliary storage device as a database. It is preferable that the second software 15 alone can perform organization such as 3D design and work sheets using the wall feature information.

[0015] FIG. 2(A) is a diagram showing an example of wall feature information. The wall feature information shown in FIG. 2(A) is two types of wall feature information J1 and J2. Each of the wall feature information J1 and J2 has a wall feature information ID and attribute information. FIG. 2(B) is a diagram showing an example of attribute information. The attribute information shown in FIG. 2(B) includes the dimensions of the wall and the material of the wall. [[ID=ID=19]] Note that the wall feature information ID is an object identifier for identifying each object, and the configuration to which the wall feature information ID is assigned is not limited to walls. Examples of objects to which the wall feature information ID is assigned include architectural elements such as windows, doors, ceilings, and floors, and structural elements such as columns, beams, and braces.

[0016] The "wall dimensions" shown in Figure 2(B) refer to the wall thickness. Examples of wall thicknesses include 100 mm and 150 mm. Note that "wall dimensions" may also include the wall height and width. The "wall material" shown in Figure 2(B) is the material that forms the wall. Examples of wall materials include wood, ceramic siding, and wallpaper. The "wall material" may also include the wall finish, wall substrate, and other materials for the wall structure. For example, in wall feature information J1, the wall feature information ID is P1. Wall feature information ID P1 has attribute information F1. In attribute information F1, the wall dimensions are 150 mm, and the wall material is wood and ceramic siding.

[0017] Furthermore, attribute information may include the functions of the wall. Examples of wall functions include firewalls and fire-resistant walls. As explained above, attribute information includes at least one of the following: wall material, wall dimensions, and wall function. In this case, attribute information (wall feature information) must include wall dimensions.

[0018] The second software 15 stores information about joinery. Examples of joinery information include joinery dimensions, joinery symbols, joinery materials, joinery specifications (fire resistance performance, etc.), joinery installation height, and the number of joinery units of the same type.

[0019] For example, the input device 30 is a pointing device such as a keyboard or mouse. The user performs various inputs by operating the input device 30. The display control means 35 and the placement control means 40 are known device drivers. The display control means 35 is connected to the display unit 105 via an input / output interface (not shown). The display control means 35 outputs the processing results of the first software 10 and the second software 15 to the display unit 105. The placement control means 40 is connected to the placement means 30 via an input / output interface (not shown). The placement control means 40 outputs input information based on operations performed by the user on the placement means 30 to the first software 10 and the second software 15.

[0020] Figure 3 shows an example of screen D1 displaying the wall core diagram D6 generated by the first software 10. As shown in Figure 3, the first software 10 generates a wall centerline diagram D6 corresponding to wall centerline information showing wall centerlines L6 and L7 in response to user operations. Furthermore, wall core information is processed on the main memory by inputting it using the placement means 30 or by reading information stored in the auxiliary storage device. The generation of the wall core diagram D6 below may be performed by the second software 15 based on instructions from the first software 10. By configuring it in this way, even if the building design system 1 is equipped with functions that were not previously available in the first software 10, a user familiar with operating the first software 10 can easily execute these functions by operating the first software 10.

[0021] The wall center information includes information for drawing line segments that represent wall centerlines L6 and L7, and includes, for example, at least one of the positions of wall centerlines L6 and L7 and the range of wall centerlines L6 and L7. The position of the wall center L6 refers, for example, to the position coordinates of the first end of the wall center L6 and the position coordinates of the second end of the wall center L6 on the plane in which the wall center L6 is placed. The range of the wall centerline L6 refers, for example, to information for identifying the first end of the wall centerline L6 and information for identifying the second end of the wall centerline L6 on the plane in which the wall centerline L6 is located. For roofs, braces, etc., it is also possible to set the range in the height direction. For the location and range of wall centerline L7, refer to the explanation of wall centerline L6.

[0022] Screen D1 has a main screen D2, which is the first screen, shown on the left, and a sub-screen D3, which is the second screen, shown on the right. In Figure 3, the main screen D2 and sub-screen D3 are displayed separately on screen D1, but this is not the only way to display them; they may be displayed separately as well. The main screen D2 shown in Figure 3 displays the wall centerline diagram D6. In Figure 3, wall centerline L6 corresponds to the wall centerline of the exterior wall of building L1. In Figure 3, wall centerline L7 corresponds to the wall centerline of the interior wall of building L1.

[0023] As shown in Figure 3, sub-screen D3 displays information related to the main screen D2, as well as operation screens such as icons for operating the main screen D2. The sub-screen D3 shown in Figure 3 displays the Properties tab T1 and the Layers tab T2. Note that the properties in the first software 10 and the properties in the second software 15 are mutually reflected. That is, changing a property in one will automatically change the property in the other accordingly. The Properties tab T1 displays the settings information for wall centerlines L6 and L7 in the layer in which they are drawn. The Layer tab T2 displays the attribute information for wall centerlines L6 and L7 in the layer in which they are drawn. In the Properties tab T1, you can change the layer to which wall centers L6 and L7 are associated, as described later.

[0024] Furthermore, the first software 10 shown in Figure 1 includes the designation means 11 and the specific means 12. The second software 15 may also include the designation means 11 and the specific means 12. The designation means 11 allows the user to input information to specify wall core information (the position and length (or range) of the wall core). The identification means 12 identifies wall feature information J1 and J2 by ​​unpacking the wall feature information held by the second software 15 into layers via the plug-in software 20.

[0025] The association means 25 included in the plug-in software 20 associates the wall core information of the first software 10, specified by the designation means 11, with the wall feature information J1 and J2 of the second software 15, specified by the identification means 12. The association means 25, for example, uses layers for association. The first software 10 may instruct the association means 25 to associate the wall core information of the first software 10 with the wall feature information J1 and J2 of the second software 15, or the second software 15 may instruct the association means 25 to associate the wall core information of the first software 10 with the wall feature information J1 and J2 of the second software 15. Here, the layer represents information indicating the set of walls that share common wall feature information J1 and J2. The first software 10 comprises multiple layers, such as an exterior wall layer and an interior wall layer. Each of the multiple layers is associated with one of the attribute information. For example, the exterior wall layer is associated with attribute information F1 corresponding to the exterior wall, and the interior wall layer is associated with attribute information F2 corresponding to the interior wall.

[0026] Each of the multiple layers has a wall center drawn based on the wall center information (position, length) associated with the attribute information F1 and F2 corresponding to that layer. The wall centerlines drawn on the exterior wall layer are associated with the corresponding wall centerline L6 for the exterior wall. The wall centerlines drawn on the interior wall layer are associated with the corresponding wall centerline L7 for the interior wall. In this way, the association means 25 associates the wall center information drawn on each of the multiple layers with the attribute information F1 and F2 of each layer. As a result, the wall center diagram D6 is drawn.

[0027] The allocation of wall cores L6 and L7 to layers may be carried out by the following steps (1) to (3). (1) The user, or an external system of the building design system 1, inputs only the wall centerlines L6 and L7 into the first software 10. (2) The wall core information held by the second software 15 is expanded into layers by the first software 10 or the second software 15. (3) The wall centerlines L6 and L7 entered in (1) are reassigned to layers by the first software 10 or the second software 15.

[0028] The association means 25 shown in Figure 1 generates an intermediate generation file 50 containing attribute information F1 and F2 (with IDs) (see Figure 4). The association means 25 outputs the generated intermediate generation file 50 to the first software 10, and the intermediate generation file 50 is output externally. Figure 4 shows an example of an intermediate generated file 50 generated by the association means 25. The intermediate generation file 50 shown in Figure 4 is preferably a text file in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format. If the intermediate generation file 50 is a text file in CSV format, it can be easily edited by the user. In the intermediate generated file 50, for example, C1, which is the wall core ID (wall core identifier) ​​of wall core L6, is associated with the wall dimensions and wall material of wall feature information J1. The wall core ID (wall core identifier), C1, links all wall feature information. In other words, on each record of the intermediate generation file 50, the wall core ID of wall core L6 is directly associated with specific wall dimensions and other values. The wall center ID C2 for wall center L7 is the same as the wall center ID C1 for wall center L6.

[0029] Intermediate generation file 50 shows the correspondence between wall core IDs C1 and C2, which represent wall cores L6 and L7, and wall feature information J1 and J2. In other words, in each record of intermediate generation file 50, wall core IDs C1 and C2 are associated with wall feature information J1 and J2. In the intermediate generated file 50, wall feature information J1 and J2 are extracted in a format (such as CSV) that is independent of both the first software 10 and the second software 15.

[0030] By configuring the intermediate generation file 50 in this way, users can easily modify the intermediate generation file 50 using an editor. The modified intermediate generation file 50 can then be loaded into the first software 10 and the second software 15. Furthermore, the intermediate generated file 50 shown in Figure 4 displays all wall feature information linked together, allowing the user to edit the desired items while referring to all wall feature information. By loading the modified intermediate generation file 50 into the first software 10 and the second software 15, the data held by the first software 10 and the second software 15 is updated.

[0031] The first software 10 obtains wall feature information J1 and J2 associated by the association means 25 from the second software 15, and generates a wall core diagram D6 based on the wall core information and the associated wall feature information J1 and J2. The second software 15 obtains, from the first software 10, the wall core diagram information, which is information related to the wall core diagram D6, and the wall feature information J1 and J2 associated with the wall core diagram D6, when the wall core diagram D6 is input to the first software 10. Here, wall centerline diagram information refers to the wall locations of the planned building and includes information on wall specifications, wall thickness, and wall specifications. The wall centerline diagram information is stored in an auxiliary storage device, etc.

[0032] Figure 5 shows a room enclosed by wall centers in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 5, the second software 15 uses the wall centerline diagram information, which is information related to the wall centerline diagram D6, to designate each of the multiple regions enclosed by wall centerlines L6 and L7 as rooms R1, R2, ... Furthermore, a room enclosed by wall centers L6 and L7 may exist as only one such room within the planned building. Next, the second software 15 assigns identifiers S1, S2, ... to rooms R1, R2, .... The identifiers S1, S2, ... are "Room 1", "Room 2", ... etc.

[0033] The second software 15 outputs the identifiers S1, S2, ... assigned to rooms R1, R2, ... and the information about rooms R1, R2, ... to the first software 10. The intermediate generated file 50 may include identifiers S1, S2, ... for rooms R1, R2, ..., as well as the intended use of rooms R1, R2, ..., etc.

[0034] Figure 6 is a perspective view of the 3D model L11 generated by the first software 10. Note that the second software 15 also displays a 3D model similar to the 3D model L11. The first software 10 generates a 3D model L11 of the planned building, and the 3D model L11 is displayed on the display unit 105. Since the second software 15 is a 3D modeling tool, it may generate a 3D model L11 of the planned building and then generate floor plans and cross-sections of the planned building. Since the first software 10 is also a 3D modeling tool, it may generate a 3D model L11 of the planned building and then generate floor plans, cross-sections, etc., using command processing.

[0035] Note that the wall center information may include information for multiple rooms (rooms R1, R2, etc.). The room information may be generated based on the wall center information. Here, the room information refers to rooms R1, R2, etc., that are formed by being enclosed by wall centers L6 and L7. For example, in Figure 5, the wall center information of the wall center L7 located between room 9 and room 11 may include information that it forms rooms 9 and 11.

[0036] The association means 25 then associates the wall feature information J1 and J2, which are identified by the identification means 12, with each of the multiple room information items that are included in the wall core information specified by the designation means 11. It is preferable that there be bidirectional communication between the first software 10 and the second software 15 through the linkage from the second software 15 to the first software 10.

[0037] The display control means 35 causes the display unit 105 to display the wall feature information J1 and J2 associated with each of the multiple room information to which the wall core information specified by the designation means 11 is associated. As shown in Figure 3, the display control means 35 causes the wall cores L6 and L7 indicated by the wall core information specified by the designation means 11 to be displayed on the display unit 105. The display control means 35 displays the wall centers L6 and L7 as the wall centerline diagram D6. Alternatively, the second software 15 may input wall centerlines L6 and L7 and display the processing result as wall centerline diagram D6.

[0038] Figure 7 shows the state in which the joinery mark M1 is placed on the wall centerline L7 in this embodiment. Note that in Figure 7, the wall L8 corresponding to the wall centerline L7 is shown. The door mark M1 shown in Figure 7 has a door frame mark M2 and a door body mark M3, and is positioned at position M6. The placement means 30 places the door / window mark M1 at position M6 on the wall centerline L7 displayed on the display unit 105, in response to user operation.

[0039] Figure 8 shows the joinery mark M1 in the second software 15. In the second software 15, which includes wall feature information, the joinery information of joinery mark M1 includes door frame mark M2, door body mark M3, and position M6. Position M6 is the reference position for placing the joinery mark M1, and is set at the center of the joinery mark M1. On the other hand, in the first software 10, which does not include wall feature information, the joinery information for the joinery mark M1 only includes the position M6, and does not include information such as the shape of the joinery mark M1, the door frame mark M2, and the door body mark M3. Joinery, like walls, is linked to related information in the second software 15, and may be adapted to specification changes, etc.

[0040] For example, when the placement means 30 places position M6 on the wall centerline L7 in response to user operation, the second software 15 places the joinery mark M1 on the wall centerline L7 with position M6 as the reference position, and the first software 10 obtains the information that the joinery mark M1 has been placed from the second software 15 and displays it on the display unit 105.

[0041] Figure 9 is a diagram of another example showing the joinery mark M1 in the second software 15. Position M6 is preferably set in multiple locations on the outer surface facing outwards at the door frame mark M2, as shown in Figure 9. This is because if multiple positions M6 are set on the outward-facing outer surface of the door frame mark M2 as shown in Figure 9, it becomes easier to position the end of the joinery mark M1 at the end of the wall L8. While Figures 7 to 9 illustrate doors as examples of building components, this disclosure is not limited to doors, and windows can be cited as other examples of building components.

[0042] As described above, in the building design system 1 of this embodiment, the first software 10 can generate a wall centerline diagram D6 corresponding to wall centerline information showing wall centerlines L6 and L7 in response to user operations. The second software 15 can provide wall feature information J1 and J2 indicating the characteristics of the walls. The association means 25 associates the wall centerline information, which is information from the first software 10, with the wall feature information, which is information from the second software 15. In other words, the association means 25 associates the wall core information of the first software 10 with the wall feature information J1 and J2 of the second software 15. The first software 10 only has the wall core information (position), and the second software 15 has all other information as wall feature information J1 and J2. Thus, the information of the first software 10 and the information of the second software 15 are easily associated. Furthermore, the 3D models of the first software 10 and the second software 15 may be linked.

[0043] Therefore, the association means 25 can associate the wall core information specified by the designation means 11 with the wall feature information J1 and J2 specified by the identification means 12. The first software 10 is a 3D modeling tool, and the second software 15 is BIM. This allows the creation of 3D models, purchase orders, etc., using the second software 15.

[0044] The wall center information includes information for drawing line segments that indicate wall centerlines L6 and L7. The information used for drawing includes at least one of the following: the positions of wall centers L6 and L7, and the range of wall centers L6 and L7. The wall center information can indicate wall center L6 and L7 by including at least one of the positions of wall center L6 and L7 and the range of wall center L6 and L7.

[0045] Furthermore, each of the wall feature information J1 and J2 has a wall feature information ID and attribute information. The attribute information includes at least one of the following: wall material, wall dimensions, and wall function. Therefore, the wall feature information J1 and J2 can indicate the characteristics of a wall by at least one of the following: the wall material, the wall dimensions, and the wall function. By associating the wall feature information with the wall core information of any given wall, the characteristics of that given wall can be identified.

[0046] Based on the wall feature information J1 and J2 obtained from the second software 15 and associated by the association means 25, and the wall core information, the first software 10 can generate a wall core diagram D6. The first software 10 can form a three-dimensional model L11 based on the wall centerline diagram D6.

[0047] When a wall core diagram D6 is input to the first software 10, the second software 15 can acquire wall core diagram information, which is information related to the wall core diagram D6, and wall feature information J1 and J2 associated with the wall core information. The second software 15 can use wall centerline diagram information to designate each of the multiple regions enclosed by wall centerlines L6 and L7 as rooms R1, R2, etc., and assign identifiers S1, S2, etc. to rooms R1, R2, etc.

[0048] The second software 15 outputs the identifiers S1, S2, ... assigned to rooms R1, R2, ... and the information of rooms R1, R2, ... to the first software 10, and the first software 10 can display rooms R1, R2, .... The association means 25 allows the wall feature information J1 and J2, specified by the identification means 12, to be associated with each of the multiple room information items that include the wall core information specified by the designation means 11.

[0049] The wall feature information J1 and J2 associated with each of the multiple room information items to which the wall core information specified by the designation means 11 is associated can be displayed on the display unit 105 by the display control means 35. The wall cores L6 and L7 indicated by the wall core information specified by the designation means 11 can be displayed on the display unit 105 by the display control means 35.

[0050] The display control means 35 allows the user to place a door / window mark M1, which indicates a door / window, on the wall centerline L7 displayed on the display unit 105, using the placement means 30. The intermediate generation file 50 can be generated and read by the association means 25.

[0051] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and modifications, combinations, deletions, etc., of the configuration are also included without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the first software 10 does not have to include at least one of the designating means 11 and the specifying means 12. The second software 15 may be a database or the like, rather than BIM. The wall center information does not necessarily have to include both the positions of wall centerlines L6 and L7 and the ranges of wall centerlines L6 and L7. Wall feature information does not necessarily have to include all of the wall's material, dimensions, and function.

[0052] The wall centerline diagram D6 does not necessarily have to form the 3D model L11 of the building L1. The second software 15 does not need to recognize rooms R1, R2, etc., and the first software 10 does not need to display rooms R1, R2, etc. Wall center information does not need to include room information. The building design system 1 does not necessarily have to include at least one of the placement means 30, the display control means 35, and the placement control means 40. The association means 25 does not need to generate the intermediate generation file 50.

This disclosure describes how the first software can generate a wall centerline diagram corresponding to wall centerline information, in response to user operations. Furthermore, the second software can provide wall feature information that indicates the characteristics of the wall.
